Nature unleashes a series of disasters solar flares, volcanic eruptions and an ice age. The world’s population is decimated, leaving just pockets of survivors. Some of them establish themselves around heat sources, a nuclear station and a hot spring in this story. A human bottleneck results, leaving scarcely two million people left to reassert the human presence on this planet.
Tarryn is a superstar and rock singer with an angelic voice and a fiercely principled value system. She and her brothers are in the rock band “Sonic Dust”. As the world reels from these disasters of epic proportions, she is stricken with a brain disease that impacts about one in seven billion people. Lynton, a retired and renegade scientist specialising in brain cell simulation, has a solution. Tarryn undergoes a cerebral, electronic infusion which completely cures her. It also endows her with some other special abilities. She jokes about being part android but then … well, you’ll see.
Some of the “established order” or authorities of the new world of survivors, see a clean slate opportunity for moral regeneration and set about making this happen by deploying cyber electronics selectively to the world’s populace. Tarryn is a strong proponent of this approach, but something does not go quite as planned.
The book gives an interesting analysis of a bottlenecked human species (they don’t actually look like that) starting afresh but trying to learn from the lessons of the past. This is a post-apocalyptic survival story which may have us introspecting about the errors of our old world ways. There are no aliens, no space travel and not even any magic in this book. It is Earth-based, and the science is good, honest fiction.
You do have to come to terms, however, with the author’s quirky sense of humour.

For context, I don't tend to read eBooks - mostly because I don't like using an iPad before bed time and that's what I use to read them. Also I have plenty of "real" books. When I do read an eBook, it's in 10-15min intervals, usually over breakfast/lunch during my working week.With that in the mind, the fact that I managed to follow the story in the two months it took me to read this (I suspect in paperback form it would have taken me 2-3 days) is a good sign that this book is quite an enjoyable and engaging read. This is a first-time author, so don't expect literary greatness, but the story hangs together fairly well and the topic (apocalyptic earth after a solar flare fries everything and sends us back into an ice age) is interesting. There are also elements of ethical opinions that sneak in which you may or may not agree with. The story is set in the Western Cape in South Africa, and I suspect South African readers will get more out of it than other readers (especially the humour). I can't say how much more though because I am of the former.
There are some elements that are repetitive (descriptions of Tarryn) and stereotypes are rife (I think all the ugly people are baddies). I also found the part at the end where it skips to the future a little jarring and still am not too sure why it was included in the way it was, but for the large part I found this an easy and interesting read. Oh - and the bands mentioned - all of them except Sonic Dust do/did actually exist.

Zozo Zero one zero one eBook Mark Phillips Reviews
Best Sci-Fi book I've ever read. Loved the concept of the nano-electronic implants.I could do with an upgrade to my memory and a specific 'People's Names' app ! If the author ever turns fantasy into reality I'll be at the head of the queue for my upgrade.
This book offers a glimpse into a possible, believable future with tension, adventure, science fiction, science fact and a touch of humanity when technology is used for the greater good. It would make a great movie set in South Africa.
This book is a thriller, a gripping story that is a must read. There is the heroine plus a large cast in this fast moving science fiction. The author deserves an accolade for this.
A fascinating read and glimpse into a new world possibility, following a global natural disaster. I enjoyed the imaginative recontexting of familiar places in the South African landscape. A quirky sense of humour and descriptive writing transports one through an easy to read plot. Some very interesting ideas and possibilities for human future are explored.

Mark Phillips uses his own experience as a nuclear power engineer to explore what would happen if a natural disasters brought down the world's power grids. He then weaves a tail of survival by three very different groups, each able to survive by harnessing the the opportunities fate has dealt them. Add to this a quirky scientist dreaming up a better future using nanoelectronics, a good dose of bad guys, and some lovable characters and you have a great novel.
Phillips writes with warmth, curiosity and optimism.
I highly recommend reading to find out how Southern Africa could become the centre be of the new world.
Even though I don't usually enjoy science fiction novels, I thoroughly enjoyed ZoZo Zero one zero one, as the intriguing characters were very real and believable. I particularly enjoyed the descriptions used to illustrate events and people. Underneath all the light hearted fun, a number of challenging ethical issues are dealt with in an interesting way.
Definitely recommended
Des
Mark Phillips, with his trusted knowledge of technology and nuclear power, has created this intriguing story about the plight of siblings through a global catastrophe. With his quirky comments and inclusion of social discrimination, this novel is definitely worth reading, while creating thoughts that may linger on.
